Comparing collections, default behavior?
by Igor Stasenko 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Since Collection includes #difference: protocol, i just thought that the default equality could be expressed like following: Collection>>= otherCollection ^ (self difference: otherCollection) isEmpty In other words, if two things having no differences, then they are equal. No? :) -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.

4.2 Japanese support
by Chris Muller 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

The problem with the Japanese font file is serious in that the entire Japanese community would need to select "Update Squeak" in order to be able to change their Locale. OTOH, this could be useful for introducing the idea that Squeak is updatable that way. Hmm... I guess will create one more image and re-do everything... Our development process must be able to support applying fixes to past releases. Any minor issues we find for 4.2 after this will be applied to the squeak42 repository so that 4.2 users can "Update Squeak". Stay tuned.. - Chris

[ANN] New Cocoa Squeak VM release
by Esteban Lorenzano 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hi, I want to announce the release of a new version of Cocoa Squeak VM (non Cog), version 5.7.4. It can be downloaded here: http://squeakvm.org/mac/release/Squeak%205.7.4.zip Since this is my first release, there are no big changes to take into account: 1) It's based on VMMaker 221 (latest) 2) it has a minor bugfix on arguments passed to the image (it was ignoring first argument). 3) My biggest change is that I drop the "b" from the release version, I didn't like it, and I think nobody else likes it :) and also is clear to understand, IMHO. Now you can read the version as: Major Version.Minor Version.Bugfix Version. This release ships with this internal plugins included: ADPCMCodecPlugin B3DEnginePlugin BalloonEnginePlugin BitBltSimulation BMPReadWriterPlugin ClipboardExtendedPlugin DeflatePlugin DSAPlugin FFIPlugin FFTPlugin FilePlugin FloatArrayPlugin GeniePlugin HostWindowPlugin JPEGReaderPlugin JPEGReadWriter2Plugin KlattSynthesizerPlugin LargeIntegersPlugin Matrix2x3Plugin MacMenubarPlugin MiscPrimitivePlugin NewsqueakIA32ABIPlugin ObjectiveCPlugin RePlugin SecurityPlugin SocketPlugin SoundCodecPlugin SoundGenerationPlugin SoundPlugin StarSqueakPlugin SurfacePlugin UUIDPlugin DropPlugin Enjoy, Esteban, with mac vm maintainer hat

Re: [Newbies] Looking to get libomv working with Squeak, is the dotNetBridge still alive?
by Göran Krampe 04 Feb '11

Hi! (I am ccing squeak-dev because it will give us a better chance of good answers) On 02/01/2011 08:33 PM, Raz Welles wrote: > Hey, I've just begun learning Squeak, and I was wondering if there was > to use .Net dll's with Squeak (libomv in particular). BrianRice > pointed out the dotNetBridge, but it seems to be dead, as the > saltypickle.com site is gone. But you can still get the code using SqueakMap cache: http://map.squeak.org/package/f4f46616-3def-4f6c-b574-7b04d78dca28/autovers… (jsut adding "/cache" to the page for the version) This will give you a file called "cache", just rename it to the proper *.mcz name. And if you use the SqueakMap Package Loader from inside Squeak it should use this automatically. :) > FFI seems a bit daunting to delve into. FFI is actually simple to use, but C# libs can not be called just by using FFI. Mono had a wrapping tool called "cilc" earlier (I googled) that could generate a C lib wrapper for C# libs, that you then could have called using FFI. But it has been discontinued in Mono 2.8, anyone know of similar tools? Also FFI will "soonish" get much better too - Eliot is working on that. > Does anyone have insight into .Net and Squeak interop? Not really :) But it is IMHO an increasinly interesting question. regards, Göran

Box-Admins Team needs a new leader and/or we need a new way
by Chris Cunnington 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Thinking about this, the idea of one person doing all the sysadmin stuff was in the past and is now a bad idea. The bus factor should never be one. This is old thinking of the bad kind that lead to the crisis preceding the group-effort model of making new images. Ken should never have been allowed to become a one man show. It has created a succession crisis that has gone on for at least twelve months. What's needed is a team of people, maybe four or five. That would be a rolling succession plan. People could be added or lost without everything coming to a crisis point. How about some people who meet once a week on IRC with Ken for the next few months to transition things. That way a list of tasks could be worked up and all kinds of questions could be asked, because everybody coming to this would have a learning curve. And learning curves are lessened if they're shared. Chris

Box-Admins Team needs a new leader and/or we need a new way
by Ken Causey 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Perhaps you've forgotten or didn't notice but I tried to resign as the Box-Admins Team Leader more than a year ago: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2010-January/143901.… Since that time I have simply done what I felt was necessary to maintain the status quo. I have neither the time nor interest in making large changes to our hosting infrastructure. The reality is that I'm an OK system administrator but a terrible manager, and I haven't found anyone willing and capable to take over or assist in any significant way. I suspect that we don't have very many people in this community with system administration experience and willingness and time to do the work. As a community I think we really need to think hard about how we want to move forward regarding the services we use within the community. I've always been a strong proponent of 'eating our own dogfood' but we've done very little in the last year or two progressing and even significantly maintaining our own services infrastructure. I suggest we strongly considered leveraging managed services in the vein of github, Google code, etc. I simply don't see that we have the will to manage these services ourselves in the immediate future. I can continue as I have been for a while, but we can't continue like this forever. I just don't have the interest in doing this work anymore beyond what is absolutely necessary. Ken Causey

[BUG] CompiledMethod>>timestamp - Improper store into indexable object
by vagy 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hi, you can trigger this by revealing the Tools flap and dragging MessageNames onto the desktop or if you open a SystemBrowser and try to browse to CompiledMethod>>sourcePointer I use Squeak-4.2-All-in-One.zip in Windows. Cheers, vagy
